Stone News
China has the largest amount of stone resources in the world, and the consumption of stone raw materials is also the highest in the world. Because various mining and processing companies are engaged in indiscriminate and indiscriminate mining and uncontrolled looting of resources, stone materials that are used as non-renewable resources are wasted. Some of China's outstanding stone resources are near exhaustion. Due to the lack of effective management and planning of enterprises, mines are disorderly mined. At the same time as destroying forest vegetation, dust, waste water (stucco) and noise generated from stone processing are exacerbated, which worsens the deterioration of the ecological environment. Lin Yuhua, director of the industry work department of the China Stone Industry Association, and senior engineer Lin Yuhua told reporters that in order to reduce early-stage investment, development companies mostly use the original operation method of “enlarging guns and digging the mountain”. The result of shot blasting is that the material utilization rate is only a few percent. The waste of resources is huge, and a large amount of broken stones cannot be used to make high-end products and can only be discarded or used as raw materials for the production of ultrafine calcium powder in low-grade industrial products.

Once foreign experts visited China to visit the stone mining site, the evaluation said that the mining sites in Western developed countries look like "high-rise building" sites, and China's mine base is similar to "archaeological sites." This means that the developed countries extract the stone layer by layer from top to bottom, which can not only make full use of resources, but also can extract more material; while most of the Chinese mines only mine the stone close to the ground, or it is easier on the mountain. The stone was mined, and "a shot for a place, a fried one for a hill," it was difficult to continue mining after the mine was dug.

In Guizhou, Sichuan, Guangxi, Guangdong, and Yunnan, where some stone resources are relatively abundant, some local governments are eager for quick success. In the development of stone resources, they hold a “quick-flowing” view of development and achievement, only looking at the future and not looking at the long term. Without paying attention to the protection of resources, using resources as a bargaining chip to attract investment at a low cost, the advantages of resources in the areas under jurisdiction are turned into economic advantages. Some places even violated national laws and regulations to develop mines, leading to the lack of government management and regional industry confusion.

In view of the current situation of the malformed development of China's stone industry, Zou Chuansheng said that if we take such an extensive development path, it will cause China's stone resources and industrial development to meet the "disastrous" disaster, the national "Eleventh Five-Year Plan" has been proposed for energy saving of enterprises With a clear development goal, the stone industry in China urgently needs to take the intensive and new industrialization road. Relevant experts and people in the industry call on the local government to implement the scientific concept of development in real earnest, and to “make a difference” in the macro-control and management of the industry. First, the government must correct the abnormal development concept, control the total amount, and plan scientifically. Some detailed planning in Canada, Austria and so on. In our country, the relative lack of the “visible hand” of the government is almost entirely a function of the invisible hand of the market. Moreover, China's current stone industry enterprises have low entry thresholds, and they have no clear definition of the scale of the technology and the environmental protection input, resulting in the development of many mines in the “mass movement” disorder. Therefore, it is necessary for the local government to plan for the development of the mine from the perspective of long-term development of the industry, accelerate the structural adjustment of the stone industry, scientifically set the entry threshold for the industry, eliminate the “small stone” enterprises, and support the dominant enterprises. Followed by the principle of “who destroys, who recovers; who benefits and who compensates”, implement environmental protection requirements.

Stone mining companies in many localities have paid low environmental compensation fees after completing their operations. Some companies have often left without paying any environmental compensation. Therefore, we must truly implement the requirements of the national environmental protection policy for stone companies, force companies to incorporate economic compensation caused by destructive mining into costs, and promote enterprises to make full use of resources. We must also speed up the research and development of the stone industry and the production of waste material digestion equipment, increase the reuse of waste materials, and build the stone industry into a sustainable “green industry”.

In addition, some people in the industry report that the scientific and standardized development of stone mines requires relatively high initial investment. The mining licenses obtained by most of China's small-scale mining enterprises are only valid for 3 to 5 years. The average contracting period for mine development is short, resulting in companies that are unwilling to make excessive prior investments, but are desperately plundering their development. Therefore, the government can appropriately extend the validity period of the mining license on the premise of guiding advantageous enterprises to enter and do a good job in development planning.
